Brusher Killed At Kinglassie - Result of Explosion in Pit - Francis Farmer, residing at Bogie's Buildings, Kinglassie, was killed on Wednesday by the force of an explosion hurtling rock against him. Farmer, who was 36 years of age, had been engaged as a brusher at Kinglassie Colliery, and in order to ascertain what had gone wrong with a shot he went back, when he met his death. A few seasons ago, deceased was recognised as one of the most promising backs in Second League circles when playing for Cowdenbeath. He was a great favourite at Central Park, and but for an injury to his knee might have earned highest honours on the football field. He played for Bowhill Juniors last season and part of this.
